In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

born in New York City (New York City!?,) raised in Miami, Florida, graduated college at the great United States Air Force Academy, and served as a US Air Force Officer in Arizona, West Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Guam, meeting thousands of great people in every corner of our nation.

I earned a Master's in Aeronautical Science (Management) during my service followed by my MBA from the University of Miami. I settled in Fort Bend County over a decade ago and have enjoyed working in the Oil & Gas industry to this very day. I have traveled and worked with fantastic citizens in dozens of countries on four continents.

I am the father of the greatest four kids on the planet (in my humble opinion.) My oldest son is a firefighter in the same department I used to volunteer at here in Fort Bend Country. My gorgeous wife is a nurse of ten years at the OakBend Medical Center in Richmond, Texas. Our home is in Missouri City. Then I have my three princesses: one in high school, and two in elementary in both Fort Bend and Katy ISD systems.

I am very active in my community as a volunteer. I have coached football for teams that my children did not play for since I was in college and to this day coach in the Fort Bend Youth Football League for my 6th season. I served as a volunteer Firefighter and EMT outside Olive Branch, Mississippi and recently in Stafford, Texas. I’ve served as a committeeman and assistant captain at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for 6 years
